Sorry to crash in this thread, but I really enjoyed reading this. I think your ex-husband's idea for you to write your own episode of Buffy as an assignment in character is brilliant. It really took away all of the other variables that go into original writing and let you focus on just one aspect. In that circumstance, the plot mattered, but simply as a means for exploring the characters and not as something to hold you back. And like you said, it is a perfect exercise to let you work on different aspects of writing within the confines of something you know well and don't have to invent yourself.
It makes so much sense. This is going to be in my mind for a long while; thanks for giving me something to think about. ♥
